I receive a lot of spam. These are written in the "=spam" mailbox (mbox format). Sometimes, it looks like Mutt crashes when it sorts the mailbox containing these messages. I've searched on the Web and found a lot of similar reports : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mutt-dev/message/13096 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mutt-dev/message/13107 http://bugs.guug.de/db/11/1124.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mutt-dev/message/17436 http://bugs.guug.de/db/14/1443.html Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. the spam mailbox is open 2. a message arrives in this mailbox (fetchmail) 3. I suppose that mutt reads the mailbox, then sorts it (thread mode), Actual Results: Sorting mailbox... Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. Please have a look at the attachment. Expected Results: Well, it shouldn't crash. At this point, I think Mutt simply re-displays the mailbox content. I'm using the latest (stable) Mutt ebuild. In order to get the trace, I used the following command : FEATURES="noclean nostrip" CFLAGS="-g" emerge mutt It is net-mail/mutt-1.5.4-r1.

This bug is not going to be solved within Gentoo. You've done a really nice job generating a backtrace with -O0, though! You should send this bug upstream and see what they do with it (using the "flea" program that comes with mutt)
